Welcome to Farmshares at Clover!
Sign up today, eat better tomorrow.
A CSA, or farmshare, is a relationship between you and a local farmer. You pay up-front during the spring, and in exchange you get a share of the harvest, all summer long. CSAs were first invented by Booker T. Whately and were popularized here in Massachusetts. They are the best economic model for small farms – and the most delicious way for you to eat! Since 2010 we’ve dedicated a portion of our restaurants to CSA pickups.
Summer signups are on!
How it Works
Step 1: Choose a farm and day of the week.
We have 6 of our favorite New England farms participating this year, each dropping off on a different weekday. Pick a farm you love, or choose a day of the week that works best for you.
Tech note: CSA signups are occurring through the Clover app. You can only place an order for a CSA during the operating hours of your specific Clover because that’s when the online ordering site is live.
Step 2: Pick a Clover location & a share type
How much produce would you like? Each farm offers different size options, crop bundles, and share frequencies.
There are also smaller shares like Mushrooms, Flowers, and even a Forest Farmshare (with home delivery).
Choose the option that works best for you or your family.
Step 3: Return to Clover for your bounty
Once your order is placed, we’ll send your farmer the money (we don’t take a cut of the proceeds except a tiny fee we use to print posters – we are happy to do this!)
Once you’ve signed up, your farm will be in contact with you a few weeks before the start of the season for pick-up dates and any other info about what’s coming each week in your share. Now for the hardest part: waiting for Summer to come : )

FAQ’s
Contents vary based on the type of farm and the weather of the particular summer. For produce farms, generally you’ll get greens, alliums, radishes, etc. during the first few weeks. Maybe some strawberries if you got a share with fruit. Mid-summer you’ll see zucchini, summer squash, herbs, and more. Late summer will likely be tomatoes, eggplant, corn. And in the fall you’ll get winter squash, pumpkins, maybe cauliflower. To see sizing and photos, click on a farm in the Clover App.
We think so! Certainly the freshest, most environmentally friendly, and exciting!
Typically for produce farms, shares run from the first/second week of June to the second/third week of October, but this can vary depending on weather and share type.
If you don’t see your location listed beneath the farm, it is not dropping off at that location.
Please be sure you are clicking during a time when the Clover location is open! And be sure you’re scrolling down past the food and drinks. Because this is run through our online ordering system, you can only see items (and farmshares) when the Clover location is open for the day.
You will need to send a friend to pick it up for you. We can’t hold shares overnight due to health code – so if you do not get your share by the time we close, we will donate it or send it home with a Clover staff member.
You will be getting an email with a code to enter. Hold tight!
